<strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> <strong>Docking</strong> <strong>Station</strong> <strong>Hardware</strong> User’s <strong>Manual</strong> December 2004<br />
Introducing the <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> <strong>Docking</strong> <strong>Station</strong><br />
The <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> <strong>Docking</strong> <strong>Station</strong> allows for easy installation of a <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> Data Acquisition<br />
System (DAS) into a rugged enclosure for on-board testing applications. Power,<br />
communication, and event signals are easily accessible via 2B LEMO connectors on the<br />
control panel. Sensors are easily connected via a compact sensor connector panel that<br />
can accommodate a variety of user-specified connectors and pin assignments including<br />
1B LEMO and Tajimi. A <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> DAS can be moved easily from an in-dummy<br />
application to an on-board docking station for maximum flexibility of data acquisition<br />
resources. <strong>Docking</strong> stations may be interconnected in a chain to create higher<br />
channel-count systems; they may also be interconnected with <strong>TDAS</strong> PRO racks.<br />
This manual discusses the features and options available with the <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> <strong>Docking</strong><br />
<strong>Station</strong>. To identify the specific hardware included with your system, please see your<br />
packing list.<br />

over-voltage conditions.<br />
• 2 volt and 5 volt excitation sources.<br />
• Ethernet 10/100BaseT/Tx communications allow interconnection with <strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong><br />
<strong>Docking</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s or <strong>TDAS</strong> PRO racks.<br />
• Contact-closure event input with 1000-volt isolation.<br />
• Rugged, time constant, momentary power switch prevents inadvertent turn off.<br />
• 16 isolated and protected multi-purpose digital inputs.<br />
• Integral threaded mounting holes.<br />
Please see the DTS web site (www.dtsweb.com) for the latest hardware specifications.<br />
Input Range<br />
The nominal sensor input range is ±2.5 volts (differential) at a gain of 1. The rated<br />
common-mode voltage range is 0.3 to 4.7 volts.<br />
Excitation Sources<br />
<strong>TDAS</strong> <strong>G5</strong> <strong>Docking</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s provide adjustable excitation under software control.<br />
Standard excitation voltages are 2 volt and 5.0 volt. (Other factory options are<br />
available.) Excitation sources for each channel are individually regulated and current<br />
